Meet Jamila

Jamila Ford is a singer, vocal coach, and music creator based in Los Angeles.

As a performer, she has sung around the world as both a solo artist and a sought-after backing vocalist, lending her voice to artists including Leon Bridges, Mavis Staples, Seal, Melody Gardot, Christopher Cross, Bonnie Pointer, Angelo of Fishbone, Nick Waterhouse, and Spiritualized at the Coachella Festival. Her voice has been featured in commercials for Pizza Hut and Uber Eats, and on the television series Palm Royale.

She has independently released four studio albums. Her most recent EP, The Deep End, was included in the first round of GRAMMY ballots for Best Jazz Vocal Album, Best New Artist, and Best Engineered Album. Critics called her "an exquisite song stylist" and declared she is "ready to take her place among the elite of sophisticated jazz vocalists."

Jamila also teaches private voice lessons and R&B and funk vocal classes at the Los Angeles College of Music in Pasadena — bringing the same rigor and warmth she's developed as a working professional into every coaching session.

That real-world experience is the foundation of her coaching approach. She teaches singers not just how to execute technique, but how to make their voice reliable in the situations that actually matter — gigs, rehearsals, auditions, and everything in between.

If you're ready to build a voice you can count on, she'd love to work with you.
